Sequels on PCE "without" Part I

[Black Tiger]

I wouldn't say Hatris or Hypernova Blast are sequels.  The former is just another falling brick game from the same guy and the latter is more of a slightly upgraded port.

Hatris was the only way for the real creator of Tetris to make a sequel. If Liquid Kids, Phantasy Star II, Son Son II, Super Mario Bros 2 USA, Vasteel 2, etc count as sequels, then Hatris might as well.

I do think that many games are both enough of a sequel and a remake and consider them within the realm of both.

Hyper Nova Blast has the full effect of the thread's subject, in that most Turbo players are unaware of the original game. It's similar to Star Soldier/Super Star Soldier.

How about these?
Terrestrial Defense Force 2
Linda 3
Might and Magic III
Wonder Boy III  (or for that matter Adventure Island)

[Black Tiger]

I don't think that Linda was ever square(d) or to the power of one.

How about Welltris? I'm pretty sure he could say TETRIS II if he wanted to since he owns the copyright for anything with the "tris" suffix in puzzle games as far as I know

You can punch me.

I need to add info about the different UPCs (?) or was it catalog number? Catalog number...

I am still debating if lame, corny gags do more harm than good... 

...but I will still perpetuate them, sadly.


UPDATE: Ouch! That hurt...

The rights didn't revert to Pajitnov until '96. Back when Hatris was made Tetris was owned by the Russian government. Communism and all that.

Linda to the  power of one is pretty linear.

Linda to the  power of one is pretty linear.

Ha!  Graphic function jokes. 

[Vimtoman]

How about Parasol Stars
